NITRILE FLUOROELASTOMER AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

To provide a solid fluoroelastomer having nitrile group at the end which gives a crosslinked product being excellent in heat resistance, solvent resistance, chemical resistance, compression set and cleanliness, and an economical process for preparation thereof. The process for preparing a nitrile group-containing fluoroelastomer by converting amide group contained in a polymer molecular chain of a solid fluoroelastomer into nitrile group in the presence of a dehydrating agent.
